AROUND THE ENGINE

LIGHT ON DASH… MOT FAIL!

OUR STARLINE RANGE OF EMS PRODUCTS

KEY MOT FAILURE

EMS is an abbreviation for Engine Management System. EMS products help control vehicle functions electronically. Any product which provides the ECU with information can be classed as EMS. Some examples of information required by the ECU are:

Speed – speed sensors tell the ECU how fast the vehicle is travelling and monitor the engine speed (camshaft and crankshaft, gearbox speed).

Temperature – temp sensors measure the temperature of different aspects of the vehicle like coolant, exhaust gas, air intake, cabin and exterior temperatures.

Oil pressure switch

Reverse light switch

DPF sensor

Ignition coil

Air temp switch

Lambda sensors

Switches – provide the ECU with information to display a fault on the in car computer system or dashboard (oil pressure switches), or switch on and off vehicle functions (brake lights, reverse lights, cruise control). Emissions – products like lambda sensors monitor the oxygen content of gas running through the exhaust system to ensure the vehicle runs efficiently and EGR valves recirculate exhaust gas to reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere. With the development of Electric Vehicles, EMS products will continue to play a critical role in the smooth functioning of vehicles, for example with battery temperature management.

Growing Starline range You will have seen many new products showcased over the last couple of months within our Starline range. Our electric range is a little older and was originally introduced in early 2021. Products in the Starline range benefit from improved research and development,access to the best technology and materials, and best of all, improved quality of products for your customers. The above table of products is just a snapshot of the range - we also have an exclusive range of ERA products available. Find out more on Omnipart, simply tap in a customer’s registration and search the parts you need.

Coolant sensor

Airflow meter

Failure or faulty EMS products will likely result in an MOT failure, poor fuel economy and poor performance of the engine.
